Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Patient reported NRS score
Time Frame: Patient reported NRS score will be recorded at baseline, and subsequent visit (till maximum three months) in the pain management clinic.
Numeric Rating Score (NRS) is an 11-point scale with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain), with higher scores indicating greater pain severity and therefore a worse outcome.
